An Actual GAME!

(c) Josiah Marchand, 2011

For a change of pace from my one prior post, rather than writing about some game design concept this post, I will give you something even better, an honest-to-goodness GAME!

It’s called Paper Frog and it’s a board game where you and your friends race to see who can guide their frog to the pond at the top of the board first. (I’ll be honest, this board game is based on a certain classic video game! :P) The game is simple enough for most anyone to play. All you need is a printout of the game board and pieces – which you cut out - and a 4 sided die. (You can use a 6 sided die if you can’t get a hold of a 4 sided one. Just reroll all of the 5s and 6s.)

There is also a single player mode for those that don’t have other readily available players to race with. To find out how to play both versions, just have a look at the included instructions PDF. 

To get started, download the game board and instructions here:
 

(Note: You will need an Adobe Reader to view these files. 99% of modern computers have one, but if you don’t, you can download it from Adobe for free here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/)

Have fun and let me know what you think of the game in the comments below! ^_^
